The Yunxia Sect holds an introductory exam every ten years. Oh, the official name is the New Disciple Selection Conference, and it was a very grand scene, not losing to the New Year of the mortal world.
The main examination hall of the selection meeting is located at the top of the largest mountain in the main mountain group, but in order to take this test, you must first complete the pre-task, which is to climb the mountain and walk from the foot of the mountain to the examination room.
In fact, the pre-task is the round that brushes down the most people, and it is also a disciple selection project that most sects will set up, so that many mortals think that the selection content of the sect is to climb the mountain, and then according to the different grades of the sect, different mobs will be added to the climbing process, such as illusion refining or something.
The criteria for passing this mountain climbing project are actually very simple, it is just a test of whether they are firm enough and whether they have bad intentions towards the Yunxia Sect.
Whether there is a bad heart or not is to detect evil thoughts, but it is a popular version of the detection method, which is only useful for those who cultivate in the foundation building period and below. Of course, if you want to enter the Yunxia Sect halfway through the foundation building period, it is not the path of the freshman exam, it is a more stringent test process.
As for whether it is firm or not, this thing is not easy to quantify, and the standard adopted by the Yunxia Sect is that either you climb to the top on foot in one day, or you solve the level set up in the middle and are constantly teleported to the top. The former tests physical fitness, while the latter tests non-physical qualities such as IQ, understanding, and luck.
However, generally speaking, the candidates cleared the level by combining the two, solved some levels, and climbed some mountain roads on foot. If you only take the road of brute work or puzzle solving, you may not be able to have one out of ten selections.
Big Brother is a recent example of a successful puzzle-solving approach. As for the success of pure brute force, the most recent example is now in our Sword Cultivation Peak, and the second-to-last example is now also in our Sword Cultivation Peak.
I really don't want to Heiben Peak, but looking at the history of the Yunxia Sect, ninety percent of those who succeeded in climbing the mountain at the beginning entered the Sword Cultivation Peak, and less than twenty percent of those who succeeded in solving the puzzle successfully entered the Sword Cultivation Peak, and these two percent also included sword cultivators like Senior Brother who stayed in the main peak because they were the heirs of the head or one of the candidates for the heirs of the head of the family. This seems to illustrate the overall IQ level of sword cultivation......
Looking at this overall level, I feel at ease for myself, and I should still be able to go on the path of sword cultivation with my average IQ of about that.

I was five years old when I last took the entrance exam, and I was immersed in the vast jade slips left behind by my mother, but I was still attracted by the pomp and circumstance of the entrance exam, and followed the twins to the scene.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a lot of people. Those who send their children to take the test, those who come to the test alone, those who sell exam information, those who sell food and daily necessities, those who come to cut off their beards from other sects, those who fight because of the argument about which peak is better before the exam, those who beat gongs and drums to cheer for the candidates, and those who peddle lucky charms......
But compared to the excitement at the foot of the mountain, the climbing process is very boring. From a bystander's point of view, the first short stretch of the road continues a little bit of a lively atmosphere. Either they are walking around in a sweat, or they are standing motionless (they are solving the level in their minds), or they are spinning in a small circle (they are trapped in the phantom array), or they are helpless when the spirit beast blocks their way...... It's quite varied.
Since the same illusion will be projected into different forms in different people's consciousness, even a few people who come together will all act alone after several levels. The Yunxia Sect's mountain climbing project does not involve much testing team ability, which may be tested in the official exam later, and mountain climbing is basically only based on individual potential - the formal exam does not necessarily test, because monks do not require teamwork ability, it is only an option.
At the beginning of the climb, you can still see some conflict and cooperation, but after a tenth of the way, only one person is left to move forward in silence. The mountain road is very long, and there are constantly people who are scared back by the checkpoint or have to quit because of injuries, so the more they go up, the fewer people there are, and the Yunxia Sect deliberately uses a formation to shield the surrounding scenery from the eyes of the candidates, so that except for when entering the illusion, all the candidates can see is monotony, and the candidates seen by the bystanders have slowly become dull.
Oh, this Mu Ran mainly refers to expressions. When it seems that there is only one person left between heaven and earth, there are really not so many joys, sorrows, and joys to show, because there is no object to show at all.
By the way, speaking of which, I remembered that when I was born in this life after my death in my previous life, I was also so indifferent when I wandered in an unknown world. No sorrow, no joy, no anger, no fear. It seems that I have experienced a lot, and I don't seem to pay attention to anything, so all that remains in my memory is vagueness - although this ambiguity may also be due to the fact that my golden finger was invalid due to the incomplete soul at that time.

I was taken by my sister to watch the climb for a few hours, then I went back to the top of the mountain and continued to look in the mirror for a while, and finally I was bored to look at my mother's jade slip again.
In the cultivation realm, mirrors are a particularly versatile prop. It can communicate, monitor, assist teleport, arrange, ask the heart, and so on. Of course, the main thing used in the exam is its monitoring function.
When the candidates are climbing the mountain, the examiner on the top of the mountain will hang the same number of large mirrors as the candidates, and a mirror will monitor all the actions of a candidate, and when the candidates exit - that is, walk back to the foot of the mountain, the process is easy, there are no obstacles on the way down the mountain, and the formation will replenish the physical strength of the people who go down the mountain, so that they feel that the more they go down the mountain, the more relaxed they are physically and mentally - the corresponding mirrors will be removed, and when there are only a few dozen mirrors left, the examiners will arrange them well, so that everyone can easily see each mirror.
To use mirrors to achieve surveillance, there are two methods, the first is the Yunxia Sect's entry mountain climbing test, the entire range of the road is covered with formations, and the formations originally contain the elements of random monitoring, so what kind of mirror to use, what kind of cultivation is the person who uses the mirror, the conditions are very relaxed.
The other way is that the place or person being monitored does not have any arrangement, and it is purely dependent on the mirror and the ability of the person holding the mirror. The great power of the Mahayana period uses spiritual treasures to see almost anything that happens anywhere in the world. The lower the cultivation level and the worse the mirror, the less places you can see, and the easier it is to be blocked by shielding circles everywhere.
The entire Yunxia Sect was covered with shielding arrays and defensive arrays, and it was difficult for other monks to see what was happening in the territory of the Yunxia Sect. Even if it breaks through the shielding defense of the Yunxia Sect, it will trigger the alarm, allowing the Yunxia Sect to catch the intruder. And in addition to the formation vigilance, there are more humanoid sensors, such as the elders of the Transformation Period, unless it is a peep in the Mahayana Period, they can be detected at the first time.
I've always felt that this function of the mirror is very useful, and when I have a little cultivation, I can use it to view the world, and the cultivation world has all kinds of defensive shields, so I won't look at it first, but the mortal world is basically open, especially in various tourist attractions, find a few large mirrors around it, it's enough to be immersive.
Just buy that kind of special tourist sightseeing mirror, when you use this magic weapon to enjoy the scenery, even if you touch the formation by mistake, it will automatically bypass at the moment of mistake, and the short-term weak touch is tolerated by the person who sets up the formation, and it will not be mistaken for malicious.
The only thing that is more troublesome is that even if it is an entertainment tourist sightseeing mirror, how long and how far you can see it is also related to cultivation. The cultivation realm is really too weak and strong, and if you can't cultivate, you will even have to discount your entertainment rights.
My brother said, "Wouldn't it be good for you to go just in person? It doesn't take much time for Edgeworth to go back and forth." ”
Me: No, you don't understand the pursuit of the house. It's not a matter of time, it's the principle of not going out. Besides, by the time I've cultivated enough to travel around the world casually, I'll already be able to enjoy the scenery with a sightseeing mirror.
☆、0046_It's useless to visit
I didn't finish watching the last selection meeting, which was mainly due to the fact that the selection process of the Yunxia Sect was too tired and tactical, and it was dark at the end of the pre-climbing project, and the candidates were not allowed to rest, and the official exam began immediately.
Even if some candidates are stunned that 'climbing the mountain is not the official start of the exam', basically no one who can pass this pre-item will panic because of this accident, even if their state is not very good, they will cheer up and cope with the official exam.
I can't.
I was only five years old that year, and I was still learning the common sense of the cultivation realm, except for following my father and brother and sister to learn some basic sword moves to strengthen my body, and memorize some tips to enter the door to calm my mind, I didn't start cultivation at all, just the physical fitness of an ordinary five-year-old healthy child, the kind that needs enough sleep.
I really couldn't afford to look at the candidates' all-night exams, and even though I was curious, my upper and lower eyelids were firmly convinced that I was going. In the end, I can only look at the records, and it is a cut version. The content of the exam was all brushed aside, and the focus was on highlighting the magnificent version of the Yunxia Sect.
The whole one of the promos.
Give this little jade Jane, which is only enough to hold a five-minute promotional video, to my senior brother: "The full version can't be leaked out casually, the content of the exam has been made public, and it will not be easy to produce exam questions in the future." The elders don't have the patience to refresh all the questions every ten years. ”
Wait, wait a minute, am I not a disciple of the Yunxia Sect?
Senior Brother: "Actually, strictly speaking, you are indeed not a disciple of the Yunxia Sect. You are just the son of Elder Pei, a destined future disciple. It's not that if you were born in the Yunxia Sect, even if you are a disciple of the Yunxia Sect, even if you are qualified to pass the test, you must also pass the test formally. Do you understand what I explain, little friend?"
I haven't taken the test yet: "......"
"Moreover," said the senior brother, "even if it is a formal disciple, although everyone can go to see the examination process, not everyone is qualified to get the full version of the record. Of course I can, and of course Elder Pei can, but your brother and sister can't, and of course you can't, and of course you can't, and there is still a question of permission. Ah, isn't that a bit complicated?" he patted my head, "It's okay, you just need to know you're not qualified." ”
